Element 114 = Flerovium; Element 116 = Livermorium

Astronuc

NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly a year after they joined the periodic table, two man-made elements have been officially named.

What used to be element 114 is now flerovium, honoring the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions in Dubna, Russia, where it was created. Element 116 is now livermorium, for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, Calif., home of a scientific team that participated in its creation in Dubna. The chemical symbols are Fl and Lv.

At least you don't have to update all the flasks containing Lv and Fl compounds 8]. If those things actually existed for more than a few nanoseconds, it would be such a hassle with the confusion potential between Fl and F(lourine)I(odine)...

Good to see 2 new official members admitted to the periodic table club.

Re: Livermorium

I don't think this name is appropriate. If you held an ounce of it, you'd actually Livelessium.

There were only 92 of which the news had come to Harvard,
And there may be many others - now some have been discarvard.
